Leave The Pack Behind is a comprehensive, tobacco control initiative for you - the students at UTSC. Our team is made up of your fellow undergraduate students that act as Peer Educators to spread our message and provide information about tobacco related topics. Our program is currently at 43 other universities and colleges throughout Ontario funded by the Ministry of Health Promotion. We, at LTPB recognize that quitting smoking is hard and that the decision to continue or discontinue smoking is a personal decision. Hence the reason why we are NOT an anti-smoking campaign! We are not here to judge you or impose our choices on you. Rather, we are here to provide information on smoking and tobacco related issues.
LTPB's activities include the following:
By providing students with the facts on tobacco and a perspective on tobacco related issues, we hope to help students make informed positive choices. Medical support for smoking cessation is also available from the clinic at the Health and Wellness Centre
Everyone! Just about everyone!
